There was talk ... even a warning ... and it came. Last night we received 6 - 8 inches of snow. And as snow is known to do ... it covered everything.

Hubby woke early in anticipation of driving Johnnie-Girl to work. Her little car does not fare too well in the stuff. But once she was out to the main road, away she went. I haven't heard otherwise, so I imagine she is fine ...?

It was early in the morning when I attempted some snow shots ... Being quite the amateur photographer, they didn't turn out too well. The lighted covered patio area , however, revealed this chilly sight ... Note to Hubby: The spray nozzle must be leaking.

In the afternoon there were pretty snowy fields to admire

We have this odd tree which holds its leaves waaaay longer than any leafy tree I have seen

It may appear that I am favouring my third born, Johnnie-Girl, this week as I am featuring her a lot lately, but the fact is that I work with the material I am presented.

A few weeks ago, Genius offered to give Johnnie-Girl a face massage as she was overly stressed with university final exams and life in general. I should point out that Genius is considering an occupational change, and is leaning towards Massage Therapy. For fun he practices on us family members on occasion, and this was simply one of those occasions.

During the holiday week ... between Christmas and New Years ... Hubby always takes a vacation. A much needed vacation. During that time he and I often ditch the kids and take a few adventures. Don't worry, no kids have been harmed during these adventures ... In fact they have long since 'ditched us'.

Anyway, after a drive out to White Rock ... I'll share those pictures with you later .. we found a Cupcake shop. Yumm-O as Rachel Ray would say.

We held back our temptation to buy a box of 12 ...

This feat was contributed to sheer will power but was combined with the hefty price of these cupcakes ...

And opted to purchase just two.

Mine was called CARAMELLA ... on the left

and Hubby picked a SNOWFLAKE cupcake

They survived the ride in the car as we drove to White Rock beach

and then further endured a short walk to a picnic table

where we decided to indulge in their goodness

As Hubby tried his, I snapped a few pictures of the occasion

Soon it was too much for me to take, so I dove into my treat.

Well worth the $3.25 a piece.

Check out this short youtube video of the shop where we purchased the cupcakes
